Manuel
Benevich, Founder
A business partner with Gary Howse in Gary Manuel
Salon since 1979, Manuel Benevich attributes the longevity of both
the business and the relationship to the many similar passions these
two very different men share. Obviously motivated by their interest
in beauty and the fashion industry, the two are also passionate
about educating a new generation of highly skilled salon and spa
professionals as well as giving back to their community. And of
course it helps that they both share the highest standards for customer
service and aesthetic beauty.
One of the "directors" behind what he calls "a passion
play that goes on every single day of the year," this husband
and father of two small children says he and Howse "love making
people feel good about themselves and watching the young people
in our industry grow."
